>>282035622FMA 03 is better. And it would have been even better if they had introduced Olivier into this version and not rushed Conqueror of Shamballa.
>>282036075AI slop
>>282035642> >:D> ,
>>282036193I still don't get this take. 2003 had a weird story. All the new rules to the transmutations and homunculi and stuff was weird. Also: I don't even remember what Dante's whole motive was. Guess I'll have to rewatch it.
>>282036193Way too much filler, sorry.
>>282035622Not hard to be when 95% of other anime is all incest and pedo weebslop. FMAB is one of the few rare anime that most resembles a /co/ series, which is a good thing.>>282035643>If you’re normal and not a pedo. probablyFTFY>>282036193>FMA 03 is better03 panders to fujo pedos with incest & pedo baiting fujo ships like Ed/Al, Ed/Mustang, and Ed/Envy that was never so much as hinted in the original manga, it also has a very simplistic and woketard narrative of “racism bad! browns good, whites bad!” Whereas the manga and Brotherhood go in a more nuanced direction, also straight up cringe Nazi Germany allegories in the movie.
>>282035622Brotherhood is a series for children where there are only very good guys doing good things and very bad guys who do bad things just because.On the other hand, FMA 2003 is a seinen in which the faults and mistakes of the past are dragged along and come back and explode in their faces in the form of homunculi, which brings a lot of doubts, suffering and confusion to the protagonists when their mother appears in the form of homunculi, or the son of their teacher reappears as Wrath. Also the development of Lust with her past in Ishbal. And Dante's motivation is somewhat more believable, because the search for immortality is something that alchemists always sought since ancient times. And Ed's father himself has blood on his hands. In Brotherhood, on the other hand, it's all the fault of an evil pokemon and Ed's father is a Gary Stu. Like all the other characters become more flat as for a child audience who just want to see fights with lights and explosions, but without questioning the beliefs of the characters. While in FMA 2003 Dante questions Ed's beliefs, and the main characters don't have a happy ending with everyone happy, but a more realistic ending where there are losses and negative consequences to their past actions.
>>282035622Objectively the second best, and only until January when it becomes the third worst.
>>282037166She just wanted to be immortal, stay young, and have sex with Hohenheim's sons because she was completely obsessed with him. Nothing too pretentious, like world domination or anything like that. Still, thanks to Bradley, she still had an entire country's army in the palm of her hands to do whatever she wanted.
>>282038642I love this ending so fucking much
>>282038642Brotherhoods last run being so generic Shonen killed any enjoyment for me . The 2003 sequel/movie is meh but I liked the ending of the 2003 anime
>>282040207It was sooooooo long. And I was watching one episode a day because somebody was making me watch it. The last two weeks was just awful.
>>282037166The origin of the homunculi in the 2003 anime is much more interesting to me than them just being fragments of the manga/Brotherhood final boss (and Sloth is hot as fuck btw)
>>282038642Edward needing to be told that life isn't fair made me burst out laughing, 2deep4u garbage.>>282039629She was also forgettable and boring. I have no idea how she survived that long given how easy a mindless Gluttony put her down.
>>282040207Apparently, Conqueror of Shamballa was supposed to be a second season, but the producers said no. Seiji Mizushima tried to turn it into a OVA miniseries, and the higher ups only gave him the proposal to make a movie. He and Shou Aikawa planned the movie to be about three hours long because of everything they had already planned, but the higher ups told them both to go fuck themselves again, and the end result is what we got, with a lot of crazy content being cut.
>>282041647Aikawa gave Mizushima a script that he had to cut down to the movie length they were given, there was no real plan for a 3 hour film. In fact to this day, there hasn't been a 3 hour anime movie at all. They may have wanted a second season but the producers rejected it on the spot for the movie.
>>282040864>>282038642>>282036193I've never seen 03, but nothing makes me want to watch it less than 03niggers talking about it. All you ever do is talk about how DEEP and SOULFUL it is, which makes me think you're conveniently forgetting to mention huge godawful flaws like all the Prequelfags on /tv/.
>>282042183>I hate it when people who like something I've never watched start praising it.Then die.
>>282044733Envy is my husband
>>282045019Noice, he's also my wife
>>282042183You're not missing out
>>282045224didn't xhe genocide brown people or something
>>282038642>FMA 2003 is a seinenNo, it isn't. You don't even know what seinen means
Both shows were good.

>>282045791>>282046093
>>282035622yes
>>282044733/thread
>>282036193One of the few anime I've seen that seems haunted. 03 has a disturbing atmosphere that makes you feel uncomfortable, I can't really explain it.
>>282048224>Rose's boyfriend turned into a chimera parrot>Barry the Chopper human form kidnapping Ed and Winry>Scar and his brother's backstory>Roy trying to kill himself after killing Winry's parents during the war>Fossil disease>Greed death>Ed death>Bradley killing Selim>Rose being raped by state alchemists>The depictions of Truth and the Gate>The "bodies" of Hohenheim and Dante rotting alive>Gluttony losing his mind and eating Dante aliveAnd many other fucked up stuff. I think the soft/muddy color palette also helps maintain that eerie atmosphere.
I'm a gay pedo who likes Syaoran and I hate brotherhood
>>282048833My brother intentionally had no interest in this show and actively tried to keep me from watching it on the computer back in 2013.It shocked me when he gave it a chance.
>>282035622One of the best.
>>282048889Cope. Seethe, even
>>282035622Basic shounen shit. Shinsekai Yori better.
